…and Happy Samhain too! Today on NEW SHIT (Mondays from 3-5pm) we’ll be spinning some new arrivals as well as some more-spooky-than-usual older jams. BOoOoOooo! Tune into CKUT 90.3FM or listen along on-line.

It’s Venus Radio‘s annual funding drive edition, and that means RADIOKE! Tune in to hear your friends, colleagues, co-workers, radio hosts, and members of local bands sing their hearts out live on air for your pledges!

Tune in Oct. 27th between noon and 2 to hear these dear, brave, shameless people sing it for ya. Make a pledge to keep female radio around for another year online or by calling 514-907-9424.

Every pledge of $25 gets a thank-you gift! Pledges of $60 or more get, in addition to the regular thank-you gifts, a limited edition Venus tank top, designed by NOMN RYN of the Venus collective and silkscreened by us with love!

These dudes came in a performed live on the September 21st edition If You Got Ears program hosted by Joe Winer. When they dropped in they brought along a couple of buds, one of whom was weilding a mammoth VHS camcorder and so voila! A video was born.

The first edition of the Total Eclipse music series has come and gone and it was a nutty and lovely way to kick off the CKUT Annual Funding Drive! Just in case you hadn’t heard about this happening, the concert series involved three consecutive nights of music at three different Montreal venues which were curated by three different CKUT radio shows and featured righteous local arteests…and this is what it looked like! Thanks to all the volunteers, CKUT staff, venue staff and local media who helped make this first crack at the series a successful fundraising venture for the station!! (All photos by Amber, Karen R. and a bunch of different music department volunteers! More photos to come!)

Tune in today to The Kitchen Bang Bang Law (Tuesdays from 12-2pm, hosted by Vince Tinguely) for a special CKUT Funding Drive show. Vince’s show, in his own words, is about “is about cutting-edge culture. It’s about dreaming beyond the barriers of cynical ‘common sense’ through radical sonic art forms, be they the working blues of the 20s or the avante garde drone of today.”

Along with the amazing gifts available for all CKUT donors, Vince has the following gifts available to Kitchen Bang Bang Law supporters: aselection of vinyl LPs, CDs (and even a VHS tape!) from this year’s crate-digging:

Tune in at 8:15pm tonight for a sneak peak at Two Horses, the unreleased
